After a year hiatus B-Girl Be: A Celebration of Women in Hip-Hop returns to Intermedia Arts in Minneapolis for its fourth installment. Encompassing the four elements of hip-hop: Emcees, DJs, Break dancing and Graffiti the mission is to influence and inspire leadership to change the perceptions and roles of women in hip-hop for current and future generations. This coming Saturday the ladies will take the to streets with an all day Block Party that will feature international, national and local (MPLS) girls-to-women who together will share their talents by means of music, dance, live mural painting, film and an art marketplace. Headlining the block party is Eternia-Juno-nominated and widely considered one of Canada’s foremost lyricist and New York based DJ Chela who recently won 2nd place at the WMC DJ Mix Battle. Before, during and after the block party be sure to check out the gallery exhibition “Mama Said Knock U Out!” that features 28 female artist from around the world who use their visual voice to empower and inform the masses with expression, connection, education, social and political activism by way of hip-hop culture.
